Association analyses that exploit the natural diversity of a genome to map at very high resolutions are becoming increasingly important. In most studies, however, researchers must contend with the confounding effects of both population and family structure. TASSEL (Trait Analysis by aSSociation, Evolution and Linkage) implements general linear model and mixed linear model approaches for control...

Introduction: Colored compounds which often are toxic and carcinogen is one of the environmental pollutants. These pollutants should be removed prior than discharge to the environment. The aim of this study was the evaluation of maize tassel powder efficiency for the removal of Reactive Red 198 dye from synthetic textile wastewater. Materials & Methods: This experimental study was performed in...

FASCICLED EAR (Fa}, a dominant ZEA MAYS L. Mutant effecting the form of the inflorescence, was treated with aqueous solutions of a-naphthaleneacetic acid, indoleacetic acid, gibberellic acid, maleic hydrazide and triiodobenzoic acid every three days from the seedling stage until tassel emergence. The mutant responded to a-naphthaleneacetic acid and indoleactic acid in such a manner that certain...

seed–storage proteins are important reservoirs of food and energy which are also involved in the determination of bread making quality. solubility properties of these proteins are traditionally classified into four classes: albumin, globulin, prolamin and glutelin. gliadin and glutenin have also been studied extensively and the genetics and biochemistry are relatively well known. grain proteins...

In Arabidopsis, SHOOT MERISTEMLESS (STM) and CLAVATA1 (CLV1) competitively regulate meristem homeostasis. Here, we explore the interaction of their maize homologs knotted1 (kn1) and thick tassel dwarf1 (td1). kn1 mutants form fewer lateral organs and td1 inflorescences are fasciated with additional floral organs. Double mutants show kn1 epistatic to td1 in seedling and ear development but dose-...

Corn tassel (Zea may L.) is rich in phenolic compounds including flavonoids and anthocyanins. The aim of this study to consider the results contents phenolics (TPC), (TFC), flavonol (TF), anthocyanins (TAC), alfa-amylase inhibitory activity, antioxidant activity FRAP metal chelating capabilities (MCC) as potential Antiviral anti-Rheumatoid arthritis. Significantly high levels capacity, total in...
